Being a west-coaster, and an ardent Disneyland fan, I'm always annoyed when the Florida Parks get a series of books before we do. Both the Hidden Mickey series and the Field Guide series were first published for WDW before we got one.
Anyway, on to the book review. The Field Guides are actually written by the Imagineers. So, we're getting details, from what one would hope to be, the ultimate authority on theme parks. The book is broken into lands, and each land has details on the majority of attractions. For such a tiny book (it measures roughly 4"x 8") it is full of details. I have found myself saying multiple times, "I didn't know that".
My only complaint is that the pictures in the book are rather small. There's a fabulous painting of an early design for Indiana Jones in which the mammoth show building actually houses three attractions. When this picture is shrunk down to two inches, all of the hidden details are lost. But, the great text makes up for the itty-bitty pictures.
